Family Owned and Operated

Our family owned business started in 1980 with a passion to only build the best Harley-Davidson® motors, with that amount experience building engines and multiple National Championships (James Gang/Hoban Brothers Racing) in professional motorcycle racing, you can rest assured you are getting the best precision work available in the industry today.

Please contact us before you buy a new Harley-Davidson® crankshaft assembly, as we can blueprint and remanufacture Harley-Davidson® crankshafts, very often for half of the cost of new. If the OEM crankshaft cannot be remanufactured, or you choose to increase the displacement, we can supply you with a Darkhorse Crankworks certified new crankshaft and/or assembled lower unit that will be the rock solid foundation to your bottom line!

I haven’t talked to you since you did that Twin Cam crank for our shop Blower King which was unbelievable! Thing is seriously smoother than a brand new Milwaukee 8, and a helluva lot faster/scarier/crazier!

You folks did the crankshaft and case work on my 2003 FLHRI engine for Baisley in Portland. I am very impressed how smooth this engine is even though it has 4.125” cylinders on it. It is running 120 hp. and 123 torque.
